Derailment involving Class 104
Info from Ian Fleming and Mick Nicholson
In the final week of the old mechanical cabin trains were being hand signalled. The Class 104 (59226 closest) ‘split’ a set of wrongly clamped points. The photographer said: “Within hours the mess was cleaned up and normal working soon resumed, today it would be a ‘scene of crime’ and the job stopped for a week”! Mick Nicholson. A list of photos on the Transport Treasury website contains images showing E50572 + E50561 + E59228 being re-railed (Miscellaneous Glass Plate Negatives section, negatives G871-8).
